Draft Grade — 49ers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in pick No. 230 lands the 49ers a B, Barton and all.

Call it larceny. Lander Barton sat on the board until the 230th pick, and the 49ers did not need to be asked twice. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

They will need Pegues to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
A reasonable price with a little left over, Abdul Carter in slot 11. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick43 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
A tidy bit of business in the 43rd overall pick, where Tate Ratledge graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick75 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Nice patience on Alfred Collins, who had no business lasting to No. 75. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm in Round 3, Pick 35 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick111 Rnd4 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at the 111th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick137 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
Somehow Quinshon Judkins was still sitting there in pick No. 137, and they pounced on premier running back value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick185 Rnd6 Willie Lampkin
Value with a capital V on Willie Lampkin in pick 185, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at the Round 7 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick230 Rnd7 Lander Barton
Lander Barton at No. 230 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick249 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jared Wilson in Round 7, Pick 33, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick255 Rnd7 Micah Morris
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Micah Morris well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
